Man arrested after stealing lottery tickets

An Ellettsville resident was arrested after he stole lottery tickets from a west side 7-Eleven.
Andre Wells, 20, faces preliminary charges of theft.
Video surveillance captured Wells stealing lottery scratch-off tickets–some of which were winning tickets– by reaching behind the convenient store’s unattended counter, according to police reporters. At the time his identity was unknown, but Bloomington Police Department officer Monica Zahasky saw a man that matched Wells’ description. After questioning Wells, he admitted to stealing the lottery tickets.
